Despite his doubts, Zhao Yu still came to the city to 'recuperate' outside the city on the orders of the Empress Dowager. Yanxiang Garden is located in Gushan, which is a royal garden with the best view of West Lake, with an unobstructed view of the lake. Formerly known as the Four Saints Church, it was originally the former residence of Lin Hejing. Maybe many people, like Zhao Yu, don't know who this Lin Hejing is, but they have probably heard of 'Mei Wife and Crane'.

Lin Hejing is a local, born in a Confucian family, tranquil and ancient, in the early years of travel in Jianghuai and other places, never a wife, and plum blossoms, cranes as a companion, self-proclaimed: However, my ambition is suitable, not a room, not fame and wealth, only feel that the green mountains and green waters are suitable for me. After his forties, he lived in seclusion in the West Lake of Hangzhou and settled in a lonely mountain.

It is accompanied by lakes and mountains, often driving a boat to visit the temples of the West Lake, and the monks and poets are also in return, according to legend, more than 20 years are not enough to the city, with cloth for life. Whenever a guest arrives, he asks the doorman to release the crane, and Lin Kui sees that the crane will return in a boat. Prime Minister Wang Sui and Hangzhou County Shou Xue Ying all respect him as a person, and love his poems, when he tends to sing harmony with the lonely mountain, and rebuild the new house for it with silver. There are poems and singing with Fan Zhongyan and Mei Yaochen.

Zhenzong heard the name of Lin and Jing, gave Su silk, and issued an edict to the prefecture and county to save it. Although he is grateful, he is not proud of it. Many people persuaded him to come out, but he politely declined. He never marries for the rest of his life, has no children, but likes to plant plums and raise cranes, claiming to take plum as his wife and crane as his son, and people call him a plum wife and crane. Both old, self-tomb on the side of the house, sixty-one died, his nephew Lin Zhang, Lin Bin to Hangzhou, funeral ceremony. The state is on the news, Renzong mourns, gives "Mr. Hejing", and buries the side of the lonely mountain.

After the Song Dynasty crossed to the south, the Royal Taoist Temple Four Holy Churches were built in Gushan and the Imperial Garden was built. Gaozong, Xiaozong and Li Zong were all lucky, and during the Li Zong period, the Four Saints Yanxiang Temple was rebuilt into the West Taiyi Palace. But during this period, the national strength declined, Li Zong was not keen on building a garden, just because the Taiyi Zhenjun Linliang and Yifen were played in the history of Taiyi, please use the story of the heavenly saint to build a new palace in the southwest of the national city, in order to follow the direction, so he chose the octagonal town, built the palace Feng'an, and then analyzed the Yanxiang view of the palace as the palace.

The West Taiyi Palace and the Four Saints Yanxiang Temple were built together and became the main building complex of Gushan. When Gaozong built the Four Saints Yanxiang Temple, the temples and mausoleums in the area of the lonely mountain were all moved to other places, leaving only the tombs of Lin and Jing not moved away, leaving a scene of Hangzhou where the lonely mountain appreciates the plum blossoms. In the Tang Dynasty, Bai Juyi called the lonely mountain Penglai Palace in the middle of the water, so the imperial garden has the artistic conception of fairyland on the lake, it can be seen that the feng shui of this land is excellent, and it is also the best landscape in the Lin'an Royal Palace, which is not inferior to other tourist gardens.

The Queen Mother chose this place as Zhao Hao's retreat, first, the construction time here is not very long, the main buildings are still intact, and there is no need for major renovations; The scenery of the two is good, and they can cultivate their minds and kill the evil qi contaminated by his continuous battles; The three are not far from the city, making it easy to travel with each other. In addition, there is the reason why it is not possible to tell.

Getting up early in the morning has become Zhao Hao's living habit, of course, there are exceptions. He ran around the lonely mountain a few times, and of course a group of guards were indispensable behind him. Although Jiangnan has entered summer, it is cooler than Qiongzhou, but there is no dry place on his body after running down the ten mile road, looking at the West Lake water that is not known to be many times clearer than in his previous life, he has an urge to jump in.

"Your Majesty, don't think about it!" Chen Dun looked at the little emperor with his eyes looking directly at the lake, and hurriedly blocked in front of him.

"What nonsense? I just want to take a bath in the West Lake, cool off! Zhao Yu pulled it aside and said.

"Your Majesty, you must not, people come and go around here, wouldn't it be embarrassing to be bumped into by someone!" Chen Dun hurriedly stopped in front of the little emperor and pointed to the fishing boats coming and going on the sea.

"Hehe, I suddenly want to go back to Qiongzhou, what about you?" Zhao Hao looked at the fishing boats on the lake and the pleasure boats that entertained guests. The clear water of a lake here is not as good as the vast sea, the isolated island in this lake, and how it is compared with Qiongzhou, he feels an inexplicable depression.

"How could Your Majesty have such a mind? But wherever Your Majesty goes, his subordinates will follow! Chen Dun said when he saw that the little emperor seemed to be a little lost and a little confused.

"I think this Lin'an City is too small, not as far as Qiongzhou can see, surrounded by turbulent sea, than this pool of calm lake makes people have more pride!" Zhao Yu pointed to the West Lake and said.

"Your Majesty wants to learn from Lin and Jingmei's wife and crane son to live on this lonely mountain for the rest of their lives!" Chen Dun was shocked when he heard this, his mood had been low since the little emperor was ordered to move to Yanxiang Garden, and saying such things today made him feel a little bad.

"Chen Dun, do you know what I had in mind when I was on the plague ship?" Zhao Hao asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I was not on the ship at that time, how could I know? I just heard from them that His Majesty was bent on curing everyone's illnesses at that time, and he was looking for the fleet all the way! ”

"That's what others say, at that time, there were only three of us boats floating on the sea, and we might run into Meng Yuan's warships at any time. I thought that if I couldn't find a dynasty, I would take these people to become pirates, and when I had enough money, I would go overseas to find a peaceful place and recreate a happy land! Zhao Hao smiled.

"Your Majesty, is there a paradise overseas?" Chen Dun said with some curiosity.

"Of course, the world is more than you can imagine, and in the end, it is difficult for us to set foot in a lifetime. Meng Yuan's claim to be the first country is just a corner of this world, and even if I am the Son of Heaven, I am just a speck of dust in the world. Zhao Yu looked at the distance and said.

"Your Majesty, is this world really that big?" Chen Dun listened to it with some yearning.

"At our feet, to the east, there is South America, North America, and Oceania, and there is gold and jewels; To our west there is Africa, where there live animals and trees that you have never seen before, and people with black skin; In the extreme south and north of the Arctic, it is covered with ice and snow all year round, with only daylight in summer and darkness in winter, but there are beautiful auroras! Zhao Hao smiled.

"Your Majesty, is the world so big?" Chen Dun said excitedly, "In the past, it was always said that our Great Song Dynasty was a big country and the center of the world, but listening to His Majesty's words, it was still a corner of the world, and his subordinates were willing to follow His Majesty to the world!" ”

"Hehe, I love to hear this, the world is beyond our imagination, and the universe is still like a grain of sand in the sea under the vast sky we live in, and no one knows where its end is!" Zhao Hao said with a wry smile.

"Your Majesty, don't the gods in the sky know either?" Chen Dun only said that His Majesty is the Son of Heaven, so he will know so much, and still asked innocently.

"Immortals?! There are no gods and monsters in the world, only by ourselves to explore and conquer. Zhao Hao snorted coldly.

"Huh? Aren't all the Taoist temples dedicated to immortals! Chen Dun thought for a moment and pointed to the magnificent building road on the mountain.

"If they really exist, why can't they hear the prayers of the common people, let Jiangnan be slaughtered, and let the villains in the world make waves, these are just things that make people self-anesthetized, looking for a spiritual sustenance, in fact, they are just a few mud tires!" Zhao Yu said disdainfully.

"......" Chen Dun was a little confused, the little emperor's words completely subverted his previous inherent concepts, and he couldn't turn around for a while.

"Don't think about it, these things are not something you can't figure out for a while, let's cool down first!"

"Poof!"

"Your Majesty......" Chen Dun was stunned, the little emperor had already jumped into the lake, and he shouted and jumped down......

After all, Zhao Yu was still invincible with two fists and four hands, and was quickly fished up from the West Lake by everyone and sent back to the hall, but after such a toss, the sulkness in his heart seemed to be less. However, as soon as he was idle, he was still a little uncomfortable, and now he only had a few newspapers on his desk to relieve his boredom. And because of the hurry of coming out, his 'studio' didn't have time to bring it out, and he knew that there were many things to deal with, but he didn't want to think about it, as if all the energy in his body had been drained, and after breakfast, he found a pavilion and lay there lazily as if he was sleeping.

"Your Majesty, there's news from the city!" Wang De saw His Majesty's appearance and knew that he was not asleep, so he leaned over and said softly.

"What's the news?" Zhao Yu opened his eyes, picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip.

"Official, the Queen Mother presided over the assembly yesterday, and she has issued a decree to remove Yao Liangchen and Wei Tianzhong from their positions as Shangshu and send them to the three divisions for the crime, and both of them have been imprisoned in the prison. In addition, the Ministry of Punishment strictly tried the assassination case of Chen Yizhong, and wanted to arrest his accomplice. Wang De said.

"Oh, what does the Queen Mother want to do?" Zhao Hao straightened up and said with some surprise. He has been the emperor for such a long time, it can be said that there are eyeliners in the palace, and there is a bureau in the gray area in charge, and if there is a disturbance in the government and the opposition, he will get the news quickly.

"Wouldn't it be a good thing for the Queen Mother to get rid of the two great evils for the official family?" Wang De took the cup in the little emperor's hand and said with a smile.

"Anything else?" Zhao Hao nodded slightly, as if he understood the meaning of the Queen Mother's 'expulsion' of him out of the city.

"I heard that Chen Yizhong wrote several letters of repentance to the Queen Mother one after another, hoping that the Queen Mother would forgive her sins by reciting the function of supporting the establishment back then, and there is another good thing ......," Wang De said with a smile.

"It's definitely not a good thing to see you laughing at the thief!" Zhao Yu pushed away his face and said.

"Official, it's a great thing." Wang De still smiled and leaned into the little emperor's ear and said, "Dou Xing sent someone to send news that the Queen Mother summoned Lu Xiang, Governor Ying, Governor Liu and Xu Shangshu the day before yesterday to choose the queen for the official family. ”

"After the election?!" Zhao Yu was shocked when he heard this, and said in surprise. A few days after the Queen Mother came back, she did things that surprised him one after another.

"That's right, wouldn't it be a good thing for the Queen Mother to let them choose a woman of appropriate age among the ministers of the court to be selected." Wang De hurriedly supported the little emperor and said.

"What is the Queen Mother going to do?" Zhao Yu leaned back and leaned back on the couch, waved his hand to make everyone retreat and muttered.

Zhao Yu is not interested in getting married, he is only fourteen years old this year, he is still in junior high school at this age in his previous life, and he is still a teenager and child, and he has to be criticized for falling in love, not to mention getting married, even if he gets married, it is considered a child marriage, and he has to be punished. But now his marriage has been put on the agenda, and a special team has been set up to manage it, but what kind of thing he can find for himself is not up to him.

In the feudal era, the emperor's selection of the queen was known as the so-called "choosing a mother for the world", which was the most solemn marriage. For the family background of the concubine, of course, the imperial court must strictly assess it in advance. There are differences in the criteria for the selection of emperors in previous dynasties, but Zhao Yu knows that the marriage of the royal family in the Song Dynasty has been heard, and the emperors of previous dynasties have a tendency to choose concubines with virtue and light on sex, and they began to respect virtuous women and advocate solemn beauty. And most of the concubines are selected from high-ranking and noble families, and they must follow etiquette, be gentle and obedient, and be stern and silent. This is why there were very few concubines who were favored because of their beauty in the harem of the Song Dynasty, so if you want to find a beautiful daughter-in-law, you have to look at luck.

Later generations often said that the marriage of the Song Dynasty did not ask about the gate valve, in fact, everything was relative, and to be honest, there were countless powerful people in the Great Song Dynasty, but Zhao Yu knew that the one called the gate valve did not necessarily exist at this time. According to the traditional system, the family of a high-ranking bureaucracy is not equal to the head of the gate. The so-called gate valve, also known as the four surnames, includes several grades such as ointment, Huayu, A, B, C, and Ding.

Where there are three princes in the third world, it is said: anointing; There is an order, and the servant says: Hua Yu; The person who is still in the book, collar, and protects is the surname A; Jiuqing, if Fang Bo, is surnamed B; Those who are free to wait for Lang and Taizhong doctors are surnamed C; The official Lang is surnamed Ding. Whoever gets into it is called the four surnames. It is very clear that one of the keys to judging whether a family belongs to the gate valve or not is whether it has been a high-ranking official for three consecutive generations.

According to this criterion, among the twelve concubines born in high-ranking bureaucratic families in the Song Dynasty, that is, the so-called "daughters of ministers and doctors", there is absolutely no one who can be worthy of the surnames of Anointing, Huayu, and A, and those who can be counted as surnamed B are also unique. Their fathers and grandparents are roughly the following two types of people:

One is the heroes of troubled times, almost all of them were born in troubled times, and they made money by fighting, and their original backgrounds were really insignificant, but they were just rough people. As far as the third generation is concerned, the rare and prominent family in the Song Dynasty is not a first-class gatekeeper, only enough for a "B surname"; The other type is the cloth and the ministers, most of them rely on the imperial examination to enter the office, until they are extremely popular ministers. As the saying goes, there are no more than three rich, and the same applies here, there are children and grandchildren in the three generations who can enter the phase, and Zhao Yu feels that it is a few points and a few points bigger than zero.

Therefore, Zhao Yu felt that later generations thought that 'marriage does not ask the door valve' was the progress of the times, but it was actually hypocritical enough, because it was impossible to choose from it. Turning to what you don't want to choose from your relatives, the most ideal is the so-called petty official portal, that is, the middle and low-level bureaucrats, which is also a matter of no choice. However, as a sign that history has passed the period of strict gatekeeper politics and entered the stage of typical bureaucratic politics, it can barely be regarded as a historical progress......
